My dermatologist prescribed hydrocortisone for an itchy ear. After showering, I rubbed a bit of it in my ear. A short time later I put a cotton ball in that ear as I got ready to mow the lawn. I must have pushed the salve down my ear canal too far because I immediately became nauseated and thought I was going to pass out. The next really stupid thing I did after trying to remove the cotton ball was to take a q tip and try to remove the salve. This only made it worse. Now I have a sensation of fullness and am constantly trying to get my ears to pop. It sounds like there's some water somewhere inside when I do this. It's been 24 hours and it's not as bad as yesterday but still pretty uncomfortable. Will this resolve or do I need to see an ent? I would greaatly appreciate any advice! Thank you!
